Tips from the Community
For a unique and historic destination, you can stop at this M16 Half-Track in Tournai-Sur-Dive. This is a rare example of an American WWII anti-aircraft vehicle that was abandoned by Allied forces after the liberation of France. It was to be equipped with four 0.5-inch machine guns mounted on a quadruple mount at the rear. You can imagine the noise he made shooting at enemy planes.

If you are looking for a historic and picturesque visit to Normandy, you can visit the Manoir de l'Isle in Livarot-Pays-D'Auge. This magnificent manor was built by Georges Bisson, former cheesemaker and mayor of Livarot, at the end of the 19th century. It is surrounded by a park with more than 100 species of trees, some of which are exotic. You can admire the architecture of the manor, inspired by the neo-Louis XIII style, and discover the history of the region's cheese industry.

This charming Romanesque church is perched on a ridge overlooking the Vallée de la Vie. This unique church has an unbuttressed nave and a north wall built with rough stones arranged in a fern leaf pattern. You can enjoy the peaceful setting and historic beauty of this hidden gem!

At this point, the hiking trail leads back seven or eight millennia into the history of the European continent and its settlement. The people of that era were able to build amazing buildings using only the work of their hands - and with (from today's perspective) seemingly primitive tools. So this ring wall - partly brick, partly made of stones - that protectively surrounded the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

Small museum, not very professional but charming. For little money there is a cheese tasting and a glass of cider

This fortified site was built in the Middle Neolithic (5300-4400 BC), when agricultural practices were beginning to take hold. The camp is one of the largest in western France.
